An administrator configured a custom incident field of type 'MultiSelect', but analysts complain that they cannot select more than one option when creating a new incident. What is the most likely cause?

A.The corresponding field element in the incident layout is configured as a single-select dropdown instead of multi-select
B.Multi-select fields are not supported in custom incident types
C.All multi-select fields require an active threat intelligence feed license
D.The database index for multi-select fields must be rebuilt via CLI using '!rebuild-index'
AnswerA

Even if a custom field supports multiple values, the layout UI component must also be set to multi-select mode.

Why this answer

Layout configurations must match field types; if the layout element is configured as a single select or dropdown instead of multi-select, or if the field definition itself was incorrectly set, behavior is restricted. Assuming layout field configuration.
